Wouldn't that make wonderful jam? (Then I will be doubly jealous . . .pesto, apricot jam AND raspberry jan - Oh My! (maybe I shoudl say 'triple-y jealous" - ha!ha!) Barb, those raspberries are so good (and take so long to pick) that I can't bear to process them. I put a few pounds in the freezer for topping cheesecakes, but mostly when there are too many for me to eat, I give them to friends. Alice Alice ~

You are bountifully blessed! I think I would be quite impressed with the contents of your freezer - pesto AND apricots!!! Oh My!!! On the other hand, Barb, you get to have some other kind of jam than apricot. We all got so bored of apricot jam that now we have big choices: apricot jalapeno, apricot habanero, and this year I'll be making apricot with Thai peppers too. Strawberry? No. Blackberry? No. Ah, apricots. Alice Alice, you probably have no idea just how lucky you are. You are bountifully blessed!
